The chalice craze is over UNLESS someone release something new and unseen to the addicts. That is why sales are tough. Everyone has seen a 4-color wm,everyone has seen a 2 color contrasting eye/body chalice,etc. Red rims are even getting easier to find now. But certain chalices are still instant sell outs because
1.They grow slow
2.They are unique(1 of a kind,in the hobby,for now)
3.Bright
4.Since everone wants it,collector value is HIGH for collectors
5.The price is right
My Miami use to be this way,as it was the first other than green eyed Alien Eye chalice,on top of that the eyes were SOOOOOO much brighter than that of any chalice of that time!
It is a very successfull captivated coral now,so it is becoming more widespread and due to that the value is quickly dropping.
I still like it though! I dont even have it yet,lol!
I really think acroporas and polyps are going to be the next "craze",acans in a close 2nd,but it is hard to sell acans at a super high price because 1 color in Bob's tank could moprh into a completly differant one in Jill's tank. The acans that are awsome colored and don't morph like crazy,usually carry the high prices.
